Im getting a thumping noise on deceleration only. It sounds very similar to the noise you would hear if you had a flat tire. It is mostly noticeable where decelerating in 3rd gear, right around 2,000 rpm. Its hard to pinpoint if its coming from the left or the right side... kind of sounds like the clutch/trans right in the center of the front of the car.
Anyone deal with something similar to this? My original diagnosis was that my axle that had been leaking grease was the cause of the noise, but I swapped the axle out for a brand new one (needed to be done sooner or later anyway). but the thumping persists. Any ideas? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Acually, when i was removing the old (first) axle, if you remember i made a thread, and when i pulled on it i didn't know about the c-clip so i yanked enough for the boot to pull off and leave just that inner clover hub connected to the tranny...
when it was just that inner axle part there is an amount of play.... if i have a chance i will jack it up today, and take a video as well, i need to put all the plastic liners on anyway, left them off after the swap to check for leaks
